Blackpool thwarted a late rally by Birmingham City in a Championship (second division) play-off on Wednesday, drawing 2-2 to clinch a 3-2 aggregate victory and set up a high-stakes final with West Ham United next week.
Nikola Zigic scored the only goal as Birmingham City beat West Ham United 1-0 to move out of the Premier League's bottom three on Sunday.
Lionel Messi came off the bench and scored twice in the second half as Barcelona, who survived two late dismissals, won 2-1 at Racing Santander on Sunday and maintained their huge lead in the Primera Liga. Racing gave the visitors little space and took the lead after the restart when Nikola Zigic scored from the penalty spot.
